They describe the program as bi-directional: The Providence Global and Domestic Engagement department sponsors family medicine residents from across Providence���s seven-state health system to gain skills not available in the U.S. context to practice at the Mangochi District Hospital in Malawi. Meantime, family medicine registrars from Malawi's Kamuzu University of Health Sciences travel to Seattle for training not available in the Malawian context at the Swedish First Hill Family Medicine Residency. Splitting their time between the two locations are faculty members Anna McDonald, M.D., and Jacob Nettleton, M.D.

We examine a macro view of what happens when there's a collaboration and a sharing of human resources, building bidirectional medical rotations, and where learners are teachers and teachers are learners.
